5:01 pm
this incident happened at about 1:30. witnesses and the chp said that the car was waving as it traveled southbound on 101 near the holly street exit near san carlos. the car veered off the highway north of the exit and crashed into the fence. chp said there was a shooting victim in the car which also held two other passengers. we believe that the shooting victim was taken to stanford hospital. chp reports are that the shooting victim suffered a head wound. now as far as traffic was concerned, traffic was actually stopped on south -- south on highway 101 for about an hour. in our traffic is moving slowly. traffic actually north bound is moving very slowly past this scene which the highway patrol is investigating as a crime scene. taking a look at the investigation going on now. again, we believe that there were three people in the car. one was a shooting victim that was taken apparently to the stanford hospital. we aren't sure of what the
